I think that decal is new, because i think the speaker is from the Siblatone collection of Western Electric. Sometimes my thoughts venture "out there" though...................

Yeah, the cab/NP looked like a reproduction, but wasn't aware of this impressive collection per se, only having seen a few pictures from it. A pity that so much usable old stuff is languishing in a museum.............. Oh well, better than the scrap pile/land fill where me and many others dumped them during the '60s-'70s tube-SS/multiple channel transition.Originally Posted by bowtie427ss

Sadly, this is the case with nearly anything deemed "collectible" these days. i sometimes have mild inner conflicts when it get's hoarded away in collections and museums out of reach of the common man who it was once designated to serve or entertain. OTOH, it's good to know that some examples of some well respected and coveted inventions will be preserved for if no other reason, the sake of accurate history.A pity that so much usable old stuff is languishing in a museum..............

And who knows, maybe in another decade or two the bulk of vintage audio interest and value will decline to a level of value and interest much like the model A's and T's have in the collectible car arena.
Maybe since it merges with other areas of major interest, or for reasons which i'm unaware, the vintage theater sound stuff will always retain a status of significant desirability.
